Name: Imara Mason
Nickname: Mars
Age: 20
Birthday: December 21
Sign: Sagittarius
Gemstone: Turquoise
Blood Type: O
Fav. Food: Game meat - Imara loves fresh meat and thinks nothing is better than the first meal after a hunt. If she had to pick one, she might say deer is her top choice this month.
Hated Food: Processed meat. There is a huge difference in taste and let’s be honest, it’s just wrong when beef has to have more ingredients than cow.
School: N/A - Got a General Studies Degree and got out of there.
Job: Paying - Manager at Iron Cow - a burger joint that allows you to customize your order.
Spare Time - Free Lance Writer - she writes about what she knows and enjoys. Imara submits them to different newspapers, magazines and blogs. A few have been published but not enough to quit her day job.
Hobbies:
Hunting: Imara has been a ‘huntress’ since she was old enough to shoot spitballs at the dog. Her first 'prey' was her three older brothers as the house cat was too easy. As she grew up, she went from nerf guns to real guns, suction cup arrows to full sized bows. Now she goes often with her father and brothers, traveling the country hunting different prized animals for them all to enjoy. Imara is very careful to not waste any of the animals she kills either. If she cannot use part of it, she knows the right people who will. She is also the only one of the siblings to bring down a black bear. A bragging right as her father has the rug in his study and enjoys showing it off to his friends.
Traveling: Both part of the perk of hunting, as well as just an all around adventure, Imara loves to travel. Once she turned eighteen, it was not too hard to believe that she packed up a carry on bag, hopped on a plane, and took off to parts unknown. Now, that has been limited to the borders of North America as overseas travel is a touch out of budget. Still, Imara is happy to say that even at the tender age of 20, she has made it to 49/50 states already. Curse Hawaii…
Sports: Growing up with three older brothers, and two surprise younger, energy ran high in the Mason house hold. It was not uncommon for their mother to kick them all out of the house for hours at a time. So, to entertain themselves, the siblings played sports. Not to be left behind to play with dolls, Imara made sure she could keep up with them. From basketball to soccer, football to baseball, she has done it at least once. However, it is in soccer she dominated her siblings and even played in high school. Imara retired her cleats her senior year after a nasty incident involving a jaded coach and a fence.
Violin: The single attempt at lady-like refinement that stuck. Imara has been playing the violin since she was six. However, she stopped formal lessons at 14 in favor of playing soccer in high school. It has now become just a means to calm her mind after long days or when she needs to think. The other item it is good for is running after her brothers to beat them with her bow.
Virtues:
Cheerful: Ignoring the times when Imara is trying to clobber someone, she is a rather cheerful and upbeat young woman. To find her without a smile on her face means something is normally bothering her and you might want to leave her alone. Otherwise, she enjoys spreading her own happiness to others through conversation, adventures, or making them laugh when something she tries lands her on her a**.
Observant: Spending so much time sitting in a hunting camp teaches one to not only have patience but to also be observant. This has translated over into Imara’s daily life as she is quick to notice changes not only in her ‘natural’ environment but all over as well. Little movements catch her eye and draw her attention towards them. It also means she is quick to point out changes in personal appearance, new house decor, as well as small facial movements when people speak to her.
Adventurous: It takes a good deal to scare Imara off the trail of something or to convince her it is life threatening. Always one to try something at least once, Imara normally takes the lead on things other people hesitate on. While this does appear to mean she leaps before she looks, Imara does believe in ‘you only live once.’ She plans to enjoy every moment of it.
Flaws:
Temper: One who always has to get the last word and more than willing to throw the first punch. Imara has a very short fuse. Most assume this is a result of her brothers but it does not take that much for someone not related to her to light that short fuse. The fastest way is to talk behind her back. If you have something to say, say it to her face. Once her fuse is lit, start running. She’s coming after you with whatever she could grab as a weapon. This is often a result of her bullheadness as well.
Bullheaded: Imara is stubborn to a fault. When she has made up her mind or belief in the way things need to be, there is no changing it. Try as you might, she will just become more set in her ways and more annoying. Logic does not work either as she will just continue to believe you found it on Wiki. While she won’t change her mind, you can get her to do things if you can force her. This is normally done by beating her in some physical manner or competition. Be warned, if she finds out you were wrong, you will never hear the end of it.
Lack of Filter: Imara thinks it, Imara says it. The chances that this woman has the ability to hold her tongue is one in a million (aka, offer her a million dollars and she might shut up). She says what is on her mind, her thoughts of you, and it doesn't always come out in the most tacked full way. Many times this has gotten her in trouble when she fires back at someone with authority. At least she can say that if it gets physical, she can hold her own.

Extra Information:
One of the Boys: Boobs or no boobs, Imara has always appeared to be just another one of the guys. Not one for all the headaches that come with being ‘feminine’, she would rather lace up some hunting boots and get down and dirty in the mud with the best of them. Of course she has to go all out and prove she can take them down even if she is ‘just a girl’. This also has a drawback for her, perk for her brothers. Imara is quickly seen as a ‘bro’ and has always seemed to be friend zoned. But she shrugs it off as their lose.
